Projects

AMSER (the Applied Math and Science Education Repository) is a portal of free educational resources and services built specifically for those in community and technical colleges but available for anyone to use. AMSER is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the National Science Digital Library, and is developed by a team of project partners led by Internet Scout.

The Collection Workflow Integration System (CWIS, pronounced see-wis) is free, open source software designed to assemble, organize, and share collections of data about resources. CWIS conforms to international and academic standards for metadata. CWIS was created to help build collections of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) resources and connect them to NSF's National Science Digital Library and other STEM education channels. However, the software can be (and is being) used for a wide variety of other purposes.

ATE Central is a free online portal and collection of materials and services dedicated to highlighting the work of Advanced Technological Education (ATE) projects and centers. These National Science Foundation-funded initiatives, primarily based at two-year colleges, develop and implement ideas to improve the skills of technicians and the educators who teach them. ATE Central helps educators, students, and the general public learn about, and use materials from, the entire depth and breadth of the Advanced Technological Education program. This collection of high-impact ATE resources available online includes curricula, learning objects, podcasts, videos, and more. The portal also aggregates information about the materials developed by ATE centers and projects, and organizes them using subject taxonomies, context appropriate keywords, and other digital cataloging techniques.
